Ripple’s CEO says the way we get paid could change forever 💥
Brad Garlinghouse has highlighted how the XRP Ledger makes it possible to receive wages instantly — not just daily or hourly, but even by the second. With settlement speeds of just 3–5 seconds and transaction costs so low they’re almost nothing, the idea of real-time pay is no longer a fantasy.
🔹 Adoption in 2025 is soaring, with over $1B in ODL transactions already processed
🔹 The network handles 1,500+ transactions per second at a cost of less than a cent
🔹 Use cases go far beyond transfers, from instant wages to per-second EV charging payments
🔹 Confidence is building after the 2023 U.S. court ruling confirmed XRP is not a security, paving the way for more institutional use
Picture this: you clock out, and your salary is already in your wallet. No waiting, no borrowing, just financial freedom.
Right now, XRP is still holding its spot as a Top 10 cryptocurrency, trading near $0.40 with a market cap above $22B.
Could this be the future of how we get paid, leaving slow bank transfers behind?
